I note that Josh has set the timetable for his events with the March one missing, all at Tuddenham, all at £45, all weekender events.
I can't help but think our event will just get swallowed up in these regular, and rather expensive, events.
My immediate reaction is to steer away from hosting a game at this site in order to offer something different from the 'competition'.
Perhaps better to run a game at IED's Shropshire site?
Thanks

Where's the link ?
I think his WWII games are open days in WWII gear , although hear what you are saying .
Reading through his stuff, its LARP not Airsoft. The players fight against a crew, so it will all be scripted. Those who crew for him that come from an Airsoft background wont be happy that they'll have to stick to a script.
CiA is player Vs player - proper Airsoft.
Gunman is player Vs crew - LARP with guns.
When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
Yes, just wondering what the perception will be of our game slotting in between all these ones though.
BTW Jay, Guy says turn your phone on. ;o)
Shit. Wondered why it had been so quiet today LOL

I see what you mean about the punter's perception HS.
But there are good reasons to go ahead:
a) interesting, period site
b) booked and available for us to use
c) will cost us nowt so gives us the opportunity to get some funds in the coffers without over-charging
d) we will only use the site once and is unlikely we will return for a couple of years, given the pool available to us
f) our games are different, we have an established and trusted 'brand'
g) not to do so might look either snobby or alienating
Good points all.
Argh Chommers has it for eloquent and well reasoned argument . I'd say " blokes a nob lets not bother" but david hits the truth . Anyhoo we've booked lets do it .
Pers reckon PM our regulars ot be alert on the night the booking thread opens = more CiA regulars less GMA Larping nobbers .
Fair doos, points against:
a) blokes a nob
b) site contaminated by larping
c) blokes a nob
Very nice touch re tipping our regulars the wink
Soooo, site visit. Need to do it ASAP - I can go over this weekend, Sat or Sun. Next weekend is out but following weekend is prob OK.
I've spent so much time away I'll struggle, plus on hire car at the mo .
Arghh....... must fight the "take over" gene
Hah! I was sort of hoping HS would be available...
Not this weekend (London), or next weekend (Dublin) weekend after is scheduled for sorting my shit out as I've not been home for 4 weekends in a row and I have a dance on the Sunday evening.
The 1st or 2nd Dec might be ok.
